Scrubby sea salt and mimosa shower wash

Rub Rub Rub is a bit of a variation on the normal shower gel. For one, it’s so thick we put it into a tub for handy scooping in the shower. Secondly, it’s a bright blue, supremely softening, exfoliating sea salt shower scrub to revive your skin. Sea salt is extra cleansing, mineral-rich and softening for the body; you can even use it as a shampoo in a pinch! Our rubby scrub is startlingly refreshing, with a dash of lemon juice and the tropical scent of mimosa blossoms for a light, blossom-scented wash and smoother skin.

Features

Get your scrub on: Made with refreshing, mineral-rich sea salt for subtle scrubbing and smoother skin.

Lather in luxury: Orange blossom absolute is intensely floral, and although expensive, it is one of the most popular essential oils used in perfumery.

"First, the smell: Everyone else seems to love it, but I can't stand it. It's a very salty, almost acrid smell, and it lasts for a long while after use. This may not be a problem for other users as most people rave about the smell but to my nose it's awful. If this was a soap or other product that I intended to use every day, I wouldn't be able to handle the smell on a constant basis. However, since it's such a strong exfoliant and only needs to be used once a week or so, I overlook the smell.
Aside from the smell, this product is miraculous. I have sensitive skin that also tends to be dry and I have keratosis pilaris. I have done some pretty extreme things in search of an exfoliating method that would smooth my skin. Think acid-based exfoliating peels and scrubby kitchen sponges. They exfoliate alright, but leave my skin angry for days and probably aren't great for the skin long-term. This product does a better job of exfoliating and leaves my skin feeling smith afterwards without irritating or drying it. My skin actually feels good after using this, even though I use my exfoliating gloves and probably still scrub a good bit more than most people. I get a small scoop out with my gloves and lather it between my hands, then start scrubbing. It usually takes two small scoops of about a tablespoon each, maybe less. My skin is noticeably smoother as soon as I wash it off, but it gets even better after the shower is over. I usually follow up with some Dreamwash to appease any skin I have angered during my scrubbing session, and my skin never hurts afterwards. Sometimes I use Sympathy for the Skin after my shower as well, but this is just as much to mask the lingering smell of the Rub Rub Rub as anything else. My skin is surprisingly smooth and moisturized-feeling after this combo even without any extra moisturizers.
I use this on my face once in a while too as my face needs occasional exfoliation and the Ultrabland I use daily just doesn't offer any. Aside from the awful small being that close to my nose, it seems to work well and isn't irritating.
I tried it once as a shampoo and wasn't impressed. It cleaned okay, but sea salt has a reputation for being great at cleaning and volumizing hair and I was a bit disappointed.
If this were a daily use kind of product it would probably be too costly for my cheap self, but I find it lasts a while using it once a week or so.

Questions & Answers

I LOVE the smell of this! I went into the Lush at International Mall in Tampa a few weeks back and asked the associate if you guys made any other products that smell like the Sakura bath bomb and she gave me a hand massage with this. So I bought it and love it, was curious if you have any other products (soap, lotions) with this scent?? Thanks guys! Oh and I didn't catch her name, but the associate was super sweet. Everytime I go into one of your stores, no matter what city I am in, your associates are always so helpful and friendly!

Thanks so much for your kind words. We have a shampoo with the same fragrance! It's called Seanick and it's in a bar. Have a sniff next time you are in the store.

Hello!! There's a great shampoo bar called "Seanik" that smells just like it and also, a bomb called "Sakura". I love the smell too and every once in a while, they have a limited edition perfume of Sakura. I bought one once and it's beautiful! gilly

Q:

I was wondering what you meant when you said it could be used as a shampoo in a '’pinch” like should i not shampoo my hair with it a lot? cause that statement kind of confused me

Our Rub Rub Rub is very similar to our BIG shampoo so if you run out of your favorite shampoo, feel free to use a bit of Rub Rub Rub! We say in a pinch because it shouldn't be used all the time because it isn't quite as moisturizing as BIG or other shampoos and may dry hair out if used too often, but it will save you if you are "in a pinch!"

I honestly wouldn't use it on my hair regularly. It won't hurt it but myhair is dry, and it's just not a good match for dry hair.

I would say this compared to Ocean salt because they are both scrubs thedifference is the smell and textures I've tried both Ocean Salt is grittyand the smell is almost lemony and salty and Rub rub is gentler and thesmell is more floral i like both both leave your skin wicked soft andmoisturized

Rub Rub Rub is made with only fine sea salt instead of a mixture of coarse and fine. Ocean Salt is able to be used for both face and body, whereas Rub Rub Rub is best for body only.

I have both! The rub rub rub is thin and almost watery .it has very small salt pieces that are sand like. It turns into a light lather. Good for shower. I LOVE the ocean salt. I use this as a face wash. It smells great and has a thicker cream like consistency. It has bigger salt pieces and I think it exfoliates better too. It leaves your skin feeling moisturised afterward.Sent from my iPad

Q:

Does this product have a an expiration date? If so, how long is the shelf life?

I would not recommend putting any of our products on your vaginal area. Medically, that area is extremely sensitive and we would not want you to have a reaction. If you would like to use Rub Rub Rub on your bikini line, that would be perfectly okay!

Rub Rub Rub contains loads of sea salt, which is naturally very cleansing and does tend to strip colored hair quicker than products that do not contain it. We would not recommend it for color treated hair.

I used this product on my bright blue hair, and while I don't think it made the color fade any faster than usual it did dry it out quite a bit. Just to be safe I'd use something else instead.

Q:

Does this help with cellulite? I start by rubbing this over my dry sin, and then rub and rinse with water after - it makes my skin feel AMAZING! It seems similar in premise to dry brushing, which is why I ask..
